< 2 Mose 9 >
1 Awurade hyɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Sane kɔ Farao nkyɛn na kɔka kyerɛ no sɛ, Awurade a ɔyɛ Hebrifoɔ Onyankopɔn no pɛ sɛ wobɛma ne nkurɔfoɔ akɔbɔ afɔdeɛ ama no.”
Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
For if thou refuse to let [them] go, and wilt hold them still,
3 Awurade tumi mu ɔyaredɔm bɛba abɛkum mo apɔnkɔ, mo mfunumu, mo nyoma, mo anantwie, mo nnwan ne mo mpɔnkye nyinaa.
Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which [is] in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: [there shall be] a very grievous murrain.
4 Nanso, Awurade de nsonsonoeɛ bɛto Israelfoɔ mmoa ne Misraimfoɔ mmoa ntam. Israelfoɔ mmoa deɛ, ɔbaako mpo renwu.
And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all [that is] the children’s of Israel.
5 Awurade ahyɛ ɛberɛ pɔtee a ɔde ɔyaredɔm no bɛba. Ɔkaa sɛ adeɛ kye a, ɔbɛma ɔyaredɔm no aba asase no so.
And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land.
6 Na ɛbaa saa. Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, nyɛmmoa a wɔwɔ Misraim no hyɛɛ aseɛ wuwuiɛ, nanso Israelman mu deɛ, ayɛmmoa baako mpo koraa anyare.
And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.
7 Farao somaa nnipa kɔɔ Israel kɔhwɛɛ sɛ ampa ara ɛhɔ nyɛmmoa no bi anwu koraa anaa. Nnipa no bɛbɔɔ Farao amanneɛ sɛ Israelfoɔ nyɛmmoa baako mpo koraa anwu nanso, nʼadwene ansesa. Wamma nnipa no ankɔ.
And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
8 Enti, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ, “Monkɔsa nso mfiri fononoo mu, na Mose nto mpete ewiem wɔ Farao anim.
And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.
9 Na ɛbɛbɔ apete Misraim asase so nyinaa sɛ mfuturo ama mpɔmpɔnini asisi nnipa ne mmoa a wɔwɔ ɔman no mu nyinaa.”
And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth [with] blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.
10 Enti, wɔkɔsaa nso firii fononoo mu de kɔɔ Farao anim, na ɔrehwɛ no, Mose to petee ewiem na ɛdanee mpɔmpɔnini sisii nnipa ne mmoa a wɔwɔ Misraim nyinaa.
And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth [with] blains upon man, and upon beast.
11 Ɛbaa saa no, nkonyaayifoɔ no antumi ne Mose anni asie, ɛfiri sɛ, na mpɔmpɔnini no bi asisi wɔn nyinaa.
And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.
12 Nanso, Farao pirim nʼakoma ara, enti wantie asɛm a Awurade nam Mose so ka kyerɛɛ no no.
And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto Moses.
13 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Sɔre kɔ Farao nkyɛn anɔpahema na kɔka kyerɛ no sɛ, Hebrifoɔ Awurade Onyankopɔn no se, ma me nkurɔfoɔ nkɔsom me.
And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
14 Afei deɛ, mede ɔhaw na ɛbɛto mo so na ɛno na ɛbɛma wo ne wʼadwumayɛfoɔ ne Misraimfoɔ nyinaa ahunu sɛ, Onyankopɔn biara nni asase yi so ka me ho.
For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that [there is] none like me in all the earth.
15 Sɛ mepɛ a anka matɔre mo nyinaa ase, anka mede ɔyaredɔm bɛkum mo nyinaa.
For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.
16 Nanso manyɛ no saa, ɛfiri sɛ, na mepɛ sɛ meda me tumi adi wɔ ewiase afanan nyinaa.
And in very deed for this [cause] have I raised thee up, for to shew [in] thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
17 Woayɛ kyɛnkyerɛnn wɔ me nkurɔfoɔ so a ɛno enti, womma wɔnkɔ.
As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?
18 Ɔkyena saa ɛberɛ yi ara mu, mɛma asukɔtweaa a ano yɛ den a ebi ntɔɔ Misraiman mu da atɔ.
Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now.
19 Ntɛm! Monka mo anantwie a mode wɔn kɔ adidi no mmra efie. Ɛfiri sɛ, asukɔtweaa no bɛkum nnipa ne mmoa a wɔbɛka wiram no nyinaa.”
Send therefore now, [and] gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; [for upon] every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.
20 Misraimfoɔ a asɛm no bɔɔ wɔn hu no de wɔn anantwie ne wɔn asomfoɔ nyinaa baa efie.
He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:
21 Na wɔn a wɔammu Awurade asɛm a ɔkaeɛ no gyaa wɔn anantwie ne wɔn asomfoɔ wɔ wiram maa asukɔtweaa no kaa wɔn.
And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his servants and his cattle in the field.
22 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Tene wo nsa kyerɛ ɔsoro na ma ampariboɔ no ntɔ ngu nnipa, mmoa ne nnua a ɛwɔ Misraiman nyinaa so.”
And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.
23 Enti, Mose de ne nsa kyerɛɛ ewiem maa Awurade maa ayerɛmo ne aprannaa dwidwaeɛ.
And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
24 Na ɛyɛ asɛm a ɛyɛ hu yie. Ɛfiri sɛ, ɛberɛ a wɔkyekyeree Misraim kɔsi saa ɛberɛ no, na aprannaa mpaapae saa da.
So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
25 Misraiman sɛee pasaa. Biribiara a ɛkaa wiram, sɛ ɛyɛ nnipa anaa mmoa no, wɔn nyinaa wuwuiɛ. Nnua nso bubuiɛ maa afudeɛ sɛeɛ.
And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that [was] in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field.
26 Baabi a ampariboɔ no antɔ wɔ ɔman no mu no yɛ Gosen asase so a na Israelfoɔ no te hɔ.
Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel [were], was there no hail.
27 Afei, Farao soma ma wɔkɔfrɛɛ Mose ne Aaron ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Afei deɛ, mahunu me mfomsoɔ. Awurade di bem na me ne me nkurɔfoɔ ayɛ bɔne ama atra so.
And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I have sinned this time: the LORD [is] righteous, and I and my people [are] wicked.
28 Monsrɛ Awurade mma me, na ɔmma aprannaa ne ampariboɔ dodoɔ yi to ntwa na mɛma mo akɔ ntɛm so.”
Intreat the LORD (for [it is] enough) that there be no [more] mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer.
29 Mose kaa sɛ, “Sɛ mefiri kuropɔn yi mu ara pɛ a, mɛma me nsa so abɔ Awurade mpaeɛ na aprannaa no ne ampariboɔ no agyae. Yei bɛma mo ahunu sɛ Awurade na asase nyinaa hyɛ ne nsa.
And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto the LORD; [and] the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth [is] the LORD’s.
30 Nanso, menim yie sɛ wo ne wo mpanimfoɔ deɛ, yeinom nyinaa akyiri no, mobɛpirim mo akoma.”
But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the LORD God.
31 Aprannaa no sɛee wɔn ayuo ne wɔn asaawa a na ɛreso aba no nyinaa.
And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley [was] in the ear, and the flax [was] bolled.
32 Nanso, atokoɔ ne aburoo deɛ, ansɛe, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɛmfifiriɛ.
But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they [were] not grown up.
33 Enti Mose firii Farao anim wɔ kuro no mu maa ne nsa so kyerɛɛ Awurade maa aprannaa no ne asukɔtweaa no ne osuo no gyaee tɔ.
And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands unto the LORD: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth.
34 Farao ne ne mpanimfoɔ hunuu sɛ biribiara ayɛ yie wɔ hɔ no, wɔkɔɔ so pirim wɔn akoma yɛɛ bɔne de buu ɛbɔ a wɔhyɛɛ Awurade no so.
And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
35 Enti, Farao amma nkurɔfoɔ no ankɔ sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ ho nkɔm kyerɛɛ Mose no.
And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses.
